The
Mean Song
Episode
This week's moral:
Okay, so apparently, it's not a nice thing to make fun of people or say bad things about them.
Whatever.
Vocabulary words:
"You know, it's so infuriating when you bait me like this." - Felicity
"Acting rationally and calmly could be a new credo for me." - Hair Eating Guy
"Hey, you wanna come in and try a new condiment?" - Sean
"... you know, real overtures." - Felicity
"I was engaged in a dialogue with this nice young lady." - 60% Off Guy
"Smoothaise. Smoothaise." - Sean
"Shut your mouths, I'm tired of hearing about your frills." - Patience Impersonation Guy
Buy a dictionary and/or thesaurus!
Sweater count:
Nada. But she did wear a swell leatherish/vinyl jacket thing.
Tell me about it:
"Wow, so you're, like, a real geek." - Ruby
Things we've learned:
The subway system is amazing.
Ruby strikes us as being a wee bit creepy. (Of course, the use of the word "wee" make me wonder who's the creepy one.)
Noel has smooth hands. Maybe he should have been in the new Santana video.
Ben DOES own a suit.
Julie Emrick and Felicity Porter:
Best Friends or Unknowing Closeted Lesbians?
Let's examine the evidence, shall we?
A) Recall the beginning of season one, where Julie and Felicity were immediately inseperable. Felicity was always calling Julie when she was on dates with Noel to make sure it was "okay".
2) Felicity compares her relationship with Julie to her relationship with Noel.
D) Those longing glances Felicity kept sneaking at Julie on the subway.
iv) The words that were actually exchaged between them:
"I didn't perform that song so you would come running to me." - Julie
"I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't advertise our history..." - Felicity
"Felicity was my first real... best friend." - Julie
k) Statements for the mere observers:
"You two met when you were both seriously lonely... desperate..."
"If you can't work it out, it wasn't meant to be."
x) After exiting the subway, Felicity invites Julie to have "a cup of coffee or something". It is a well known fact that an invitation for "coffee" is an invitation for... well, you know.
37) The ending art gallery scene was shot in such a manner to suggest the reuniting of a couple (see: any independent art film that features a scene in an art gallery - except in the indie film, they probably all died at the end).
An overview of these facts would lead one to believe that Julie was upset over the fact that Felicity chose Ben over her (as I do recall, the name "Noel" was never mentioned in their exchange of harsh words).
You make the call.
The "FELICITY" Song
Okay, so they hold this song over our heads and then they never let us hear it.
The paraphrase:
Felicity and Julie started off as friends,
Felicity found out Julie liked Ben,
Julie sacrificed her happiness for Felicity,
and Felicity is the worst person in the world.
An excerpt:
An astor place trim
and she thinks she's Joan of Arc,
[something, something]
slut of Washington Square Park.
And it had a good melody.
Is that College Music?
